You Could of Killed someone on pupose
& Known it was Wrong at the Time
& He Would forgive you if
You Confess it as Sin & Repent
As Long as You recieve Jesus Free gift
of Dieing on the Cross to Pay for such Sin
King David Killed Bethshebas Husband
& God Forgave him once David came to his sences
& Confessed it as sin against God
& God saw His Heart & New his repentance was genuine
& He forgave Him & That was Adulty & Murder
Plus There is a Thing about the age of accountability
& Even at such a young age if one were to Die that young \
Prolly go to Heaven anyway
But your now past the age of accountabilty
So you must be Born again to enter thy Kingdom

God does not punish someone who made mistakes out of ignorance. That's one of the reasons for the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
In the following verse from the New Testament, the Apostle Paul indicates how he obtained mercy because his sins were committed out of ignorance.
Timothy 1:12-13
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
The follow verse found in the Book of Mormon shows that Christ's atonement applies to sins of ignorance.
Mosiah 3:11
For behold, and also his blood atoneth for the sins of those who have fallen by the transgression of Adam, who have died not knowing the will of God concerning them, or who have ignorantly sinned.
Here's another verse from the Book of Mormon that mentions little children.
Moroni 8:22
22 For behold that all little children are alive in Christ, and also all they that are without the law. For the power of redemption cometh on all them that have no law; wherefore, he that is not condemned, or he that is under no condemnation, cannot repent; and unto such baptism availeth nothing—

'The christian God' tells us what sin actually is, is all knowing, and can read the heart of a child - especially one who sins 'unknowingly' or commits a sinfull act with no understanding of its full repercussions. However, God also tells us that if we repent (turn away from sin), ask for forgiveness from Jesus, and accept the gift of his death on the cross for our sins - then we will be forgiven by the Lord God himself (everytime-without fail). God also tells us that if we dwell on sin we become mastered by it - even if it is years later. When we die - the bible tells us we are judged by god. If we havent asked for forgiveness for our sins- then we are not forgiven. All of us sin, we are even born into a kind of sin created when the first man and woman sinned for the first time ever here on earth- changing the world forever and altering our relationship with God. Only God can judge our sins and how heavy they will weigh on judgement day against our suffering and good deeds herre in this life.

Do not worry about that....
Rom 8:27
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
NIV
The Spirit is praying on your behalf when you do not know what to pray for....kind of like insurance...you're covered!

I wish people would stop seeing God as this big orb in the sky,that is just waiting to zap us when we do something wrong.God is your Father,the Father of your soul. You are created unique,because He wanted someone just like you to love Him. Think of your own children if you have any. Do you enjoy punishing them,of course not. Nethier does God. He wants us to have eternal life. He takes no pleasure in our suffering.

you are not responsible for your words and actions until the age of reason. Christianity states that is 12. At 12 you begin to learn morals and what consequences are and you can received reconciliation.

If you didn't understand that something was wrong, then it's not a sin. You have to knowingly do wrong. And besides, if you did something wrong even knowingly you can still get forgiveness... it's never too late!

No.
The Bible says that God can judge you according to your thoughts and intentions.
